Wonder how to work catwalk cool into your own closet? Here’s how to translate the trends for real life.

If all roads lead to Rome, then all summer shoe trends lead to the gladiator sandal. On spring 2013 runways, models for Altuzarra, Versace, Acne, Alexander Wang, Tom Ford and others wore the strappy styles in looks that were bold, to-the-knee and paired with feminine dresses and prim pencil skirts. Think a warm-weather version of the knee-high boot.

The fashion-forward may be willing to rock the tall, chunky style, but most women are likely to prefer something a little more dainty. Either way, now is the time to give gladiator sandals a try. When in Rome, right?

We’re sure there’s other news happening this week, but if it doesn’t have to do with the royal baby, we’re afraid we probably missed it. Now that the Prince of Cambridge, third heir to the British throne, finally has been welcomed into the world, we can’t stop thinking about all the cute baby gifts William and Kate undoubtedly are receiving by the palace-load. Shopping for baby showers, first birthday parties or your own kids? Here are deals of the week worthy of a future king or queen, but without the monarch pricetag. Charming!
